Relax. Breathe. The Raider Rusher is not Oakland's new mascot. It will not prowl the sidelines. You can summon it by repeating its name three times into a darkened bathroom mirror, but it will not trouble your dreams by showing up on an NFL broadcast.

It features "Rusherz," creatures like the Raiders' monstrosity. Every team gets one. They're all terrifying.Where do they keep their organs? They have to defend the galaxy from, I dunno, concussion lawsuits or whatever. But they are not actual team mascots, and unless you have particularly undiscerning children, you won't see the Rusherz unless you seek them out.

As for why the Raiders decided to extract their Rusher from the land of animated horror and produce a real-world abomination, we can only assume Al Davis's dying wish was to continue to scare children long after he's gone.
